Atlantic blue does look good on a GTD but not so good on a GTi because the red bits don't go well with the navy blue.

That does make sense and it's way too late to change my choice now!

Keen to see how your 7.5 PP looks in Atlantic Blue. I've got pretty much the same on order but BW keeps getting kicked into October! I've got a Night Blue Mk7 PP and think the red details goes well. Is Atlantic Blue really that might lighter?

Here's one on YouTube;

Also worth checking the nearly new GTI's in the used cars section of the VW website. You can set the selection criteria so the results return just the blue nearly new GTI's; not any nearly new Atlantic Blue GTI's on there at the moment though.

That looks really good and I love the way the red contrasts with the dark colour. It looks a lot closer to night blue in that video than it does in person.

I am really liking this Atlantic Blue colour and making me think if I have ordered the right colour. I have gone for the deep black as I also like the contrast between the dark colour and the red highlights.

My build week is also getting pushed back. Just been on live chat and now slipped to week 39!  :cry:

You realy can't go wrong with a black GTI. It's a classic look and will still look good in 10 years time :smiley:

Deep Black Pearl is a great colour; my mk4 and mk5 Golfs were DBP. It's a bit of a labour of love keeping it looking good though, but if you put in the effort, it's well worth it.

Got a brief look at an Isaac Blue GTD yesterday. Unfortunately, it was fairly cloudy at the time.

My first thought was denim blue.

I need to get a better look at it.
